Review of PureGym UK - Milton Keynes Kingston Centre


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Kingston MK. It's not their fault, blame social media...

Overall the Pure Gym i use (Kingston Milton Keynes) is good. Good space,loads of plates and racks, bars, machines etc..The let downs are: the amount of lazy gym goers that leave their station as if they're still working out i.e. fully loaded bar and just walk off. The misuse of equipment like dropping empty or light bars, smashing the safety bars with a similar loaded bar, again for no reason other than the effect of sounding like they're going 'heavy'.
I realise it's a business and if the local yoofs wanna come and scroll for an hour then that's their entitlement. Apart from that it's ok. I think that the gym staff could also intervene when an inexperienced lifter is clearly lifting more than they're capable, especially when you see guys prawn backing a deadlift that is never leaving the floor.

Hi Stephen. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback.
We do apologise for any inconvenience this does cause on your visits.

It is in the gym rules that members should return their own weights or risk suspension, but at peak times especially it can be hard to police this.

However, staff on site do everything they can while we also have CCTV monitoring the free weights and are looking for new ways to combat this.

Unfortunately, we are unable to monitor the usage of phones in our gyms, however if people are sitting on equipment we would strongly advise approaching a member of staff on the floor who will be able to help further. Thanks, PureGym
